Now that I'm instrument rated I'd like to use my -6A to stay current. I only have a KX-125 Nav/Com and GNC 250XL GPS, so while I can't actually fly IFR I can certainly use it to fly practice LOC, VOR, and LDA approaches with the VFR GPS or ForeFlight as my DME. So what approach speeds does everyone commonly use in the RV? We did 90kts in the 172 during training.
Any other tips for hand-flying the RV for this type of thing? I imagine you need to be much farther ahead of the plane in order to get slowed down to a reasonable speed prior to the IAF vs what I was used to in the 172.
